recognition session which was

g on the
infotainment screen on the
center stack.
.

terminate the voice recognition
session and display the screen

Commands Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form (English
only), or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
For languages that do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form, use the direct
commands shown as examples on
the display screen.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
.
Say “ Help ” or look at the screen
display for commands.
.
Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted during a
prompt by pressing
g again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press
g again
and wait for the beep. .
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, “ Call Dave Smith
at work, ” “ Play ” followed by the
artist or song name, or “ Tune ”
followed by the radio station
number.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “ Call 555-1212. ” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “ Phone ” or “ Phone Commands, ” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
